FFI-V October 2022 Bulletin
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2021 Rule Change: specifically, B 8.1 & B 8.2 WEIGHT: Hull weight reduced from 138 kg to 133 kg minimum, & maximum corrector weight also reduced by 5 kg, to 16 kg
This Saturday 22nd October 2022 has been proposed as a date for the State Measurer to check your reduced corrector weights (or to weigh another part of your boat you would like to remove) at Davey’s Bay Yacht Club.
If there are enough owners signed up for this the Measurer will make a trip from Gippsland for this. So, you need to contact Cam Taylor NOW if you want to include your boat in this exercise.
Contrary to our previous advice this will not be done at the Ossie McCutcheon Regatta as it has been pointed out it is not a quick exercise and the measurers need to focus on their own sailing at this regatta.
